Every Humble Knee Must Bow - music/lyrics?

[arbarnhart]

I am looking for Every Humble Knee Must Bow - Nashville Bluegrass Band music and/or lyrics. Not the Emmilou Harris song I keep finding. The link is to the sound sample from the Rounder CD.

This is the lyrics/chords. If you get the tab let me know--I've been on the hunt. What a killer tune.

Should I be chopping rhythm with these?



My new teacher wants me to pick one song to learn completely and I was having a hard time deciding between blues and bluegrass. This tune is a nice compromise. I did not find a tab in my searches, but what you gave me is actually preferable for my purpose. She is going to teach me how to figure it out, not just memorize it.

Thanks!

That's what I'm using. I'm just not good enough yet to pick up Compton's melody. I can play some eighth notes from the chords that almost sounds like a break, but if it comes down to actually duplicating it I can't do it. I guess that's one of the hazards of being self-taught. You get stuck in a tablature rut.

I guess actually I should say she will try to teach me

I figured I am going to have to break down and get a pro to help break me away from tabs and notation (I read that also, but it just gives you a wider base of things to memorize).

I should probably do the same. Every time I try to learn one by ear I always wind up falling back to the tab if it can be found, or just faking it as gracefully as possible. I hope it goes well. You can inspire the rest of us tab/notation junkies.
